This place is very famous for various temples submerged in sand. The sand is of very fine quality which is reflective, just like a sea shore sand. Talakadu (or Talakad) is also famous for the shiva temple Vaidyanatheswara.
Importance of Talkad:
Talakadu is situated at the bank of river Kaveri. The name of the place is derived from two local chieftains called Tala and Kada. Talkad was the capital of Gangas and Cholas. There are five shrines of Lord Shiva which are called Pancha Linga. These temples are buried under the sand (except one). These temples are opened once in twelve years and a ceremonial worship is done. Kirti Narayana temple (constructed during Vishnuvardhana period) is situated in this place.
